In Saudi Arabia, a luxurious resort hidden in the desert offers a "Thousand and One Nights" experience.
Outdoor furnishings are designed by Atmosphera.

Nestled in one of Saudi Arabia's most captivating regions, amidst the magical surroundings of AlUla, the Banyan Tree resort offers an exclusive retreat for those seeking a luxurious experience immersed in nature. Guests can revel in the beauty of the desert landscape, explore the traditions of local Bedouin culture, and find comfort and relaxation, all while staying in truly remarkable villas with striking architectural designs.

The resort boasts a unique and refined design. Created by the Paris-based international architecture and interiors firm AW², Banyan Tree AlUla draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the area and the nomadic culture of the Nabatean people who once inhabited the region. Surrounded by rock formations and desert landscapes, the resort’s villas seem to blend seamlessly into the environment. Featuring tones ranging from terracotta to sandy beige in the drapery, every design element is harmoniously balanced, enhancing the landscape without overwhelming it, and evoking a profound sense of peace and tranquility.

Each of the four guest villas is a private oasis, offering intimacy, comfort, luxury services, and breathtaking views. The custom-designed furnishings make every villa unique and closely tied to the aesthetic of Arabian tradition. The use of materials such as solid wood, natural fabrics, and handcrafted metals creates warm, inviting interiors. Adding further charm to the spaces are fine rugs and artisanal pieces that evoke the allure of the past.

Guests can enjoy private panoramic pools and relaxation areas, soaking up the sun while taking in spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. This is complemented by Atmosphera's outdoor furniture, chosen for its exclusive design, high-quality fabrics, durable structures, and timeless aesthetic.

From the Lodge Collection, with seating that features a minimalist and balanced design, to SWITCH side tables, which are discreet yet charismatic, and exclusive aluminum dining tables designed by the Atmosphera Creative Lab specifically for Banyan Tree AlUla—the outdoor furnishings convey a sophisticated and elegant language that remains deeply respectful of the area's rich natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The Banyan Tree also offers its guests a range of luxury services. In addition to two restaurants—serving Thai and Arabian cuisine respectively—there is also an exclusive spa, a true sanctuary of wellness where guests can rejuvenate physically, mentally, and spiritually. The spa adopts a holistic approach, drawing on Oriental and Arabian healing traditions and using products made from natural ingredients. Treatments, such as massages and facials, are rooted in centuries-old practices and are closely tied to the elements of nature.

Descriptions of Atmosphera Outdoor Collections at Banyan Tree AlUla:

LODGE – Design by ATMOSPHERA CREATIVE LAB
A collection of outdoor furniture defined by minimalist and balanced design. The solid, proportioned teak frame supports a rope backrest with a soft, enveloping shape that invites relaxation. The collection includes armchairs, sofas, low tables, and side tables, both round and rectangular. These feature a solid Asian teak frame topped with a stoneware surface available in two finishes, offering a natural look with a velvety feel.

SWITCH – Design by ATMOSPHERA CREATIVE LAB
With its bold design, the Switch collection reminds us that fantastic inspiration and imagination often stem from simple things. The coffee table and side table are understated presences in neutral colors that never go unnoticed. Expanded aluminum sheets give the structure a refined yet durable feel. This aesthetic evolves in the modular sofa, featuring a white texture that allows for countless configurations to suit the nature of the space. Armchairs are also available.
